Pat Mastelotto / Tobias Ralph: ToPaRaMa
by Glenn Astarita
The King Crimson connection is inherent on this program by two powerhouse drummers Pat Mastelotto (King Crimson, David Sylvian) and Tobias Ralph (Defunkt, Adrian Belew Power Trio). After performing via a dual-drumming attack for the spinoff The Crimson ProjeKCt, they sensed profuse synergy and capitalized on this aura by venturing into the studio, here featuring contributions ...
Meg Okura and the Pan Asian Chamber Jazz Ensemble: Music of Ryuichi Sakamoto
by Neri Pollastri
Violinista originaria di Tokio, la poco più che quarantenne Meg Okura è un'apprezzata jazzista che ha lavorato con nomi di primo piano della scena statunitense. In questo curioso lavoro borderline la musicista è alla testa del suo Pan Asian Chamber Jazz Ensemble -quintetto atipico con flauto e violino accanto alla ritmica--con il quale riproporre in forma ...
Mario Castro: Estrella De Mar
by James Nadal
Though the concept of augmenting a jazz quintet with a string section may not be anything new, the direction saxophonist Mario Castro takes this combination on Estrella De Mar is quite novel in its sophisticated, yet hip, arranging. The strings are not utilized merely as accompaniment, but are engaged in the front line of harmony and ...
Don Byron: Tuskegee Experiments
by John Kelman
For this column I step away from my avoidance of personalization because its roots and intent are, indeed, very, very personal. The germination of this column began as the result of two coinciding events. First, after months of relative inactivity due to a health matter that, while thankfully non-life threatening and treatable, could take ...
Alex García’s AfroMantra: This Side of Mestizaje
by Roger Farbey
From the word go, this tight band shows its mettle with upbeat lyricism as evidenced in the opener “Believe." A Chick Corea Return to Forever era influence is apparent with “11:11 Spirit," Fender Rhodes to the fore. The title track clearly displays what a drum-led group sounds like, Alex Garcia's intelligent and incisive percussion ...

Farmers by Nature: Love and Ghosts
by Libero Farnè
Ecco un sodalizio che gli appassionati della libera improvvisazione afro-americana non possono permettersi di ignorare. Il doppio CD riporta infatti due esibizioni dal vivo (a Marsiglia il 27 giugno 2011, a Besançon il giorno dopo) del trio paritario Farmers by Nature, composto da protagonisti assoluti di questo genere. Nei dieci brani, prevalentemente lunghi, vengono ...
Tarbaby: Fanon
by John Sharpe
For their fourth album, the collective trio Tarbaby maintain their simultaneously tradition orientated but forward looking aesthetic. At the heart remains the piano of Orrin Evans, bassist Eric Revis and drummer Nasheet Waits. But from the start they have been open to change. As a consequence only one of their releases features the three principals alone. ...
Frank Lowe: Out Loud
by Hrayr Attarian
The year separating Thanksgivings of 2013 and 2014 has abounded in historic reissues and discoveries. There are several from idiosyncratic bandleader Sun Ra in addition to ones from saxophonists John Coltrane, Clifford Jordan and Charles Lloyd. And of course there are such gems as the third volume of trumpeter Miles Davis' Fillmore bootlegs and clarinetist/saxophonist Jimmy ...
